Chris,

Here's what I did:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<div style="width: 200px; height: 200px; border: 1px solid red;" 
(click)="onClick($event)"> <----- make sure your event is passing the 
MouseEvent object to your handler


onClick(event:MouseEvent) {
  event.stopPropagation(); // <-------------- stop that sucker right in it's 
tracks!
  this.counter++;
  console.log("Clicked " + this.counter + " times! ");
  this.msgs += "\nClicked " + this.counter + " times! ";
  return false;
}


I hope that does what you are looking for.


 - michael
